A raffle, children’s garden art project and the Sharpenator are featured at the Nehalem Bay Garden Club’s annual plant sale this Saturday, May 9 from 10-4. The sale is Saturday only.
Please no early entry. Location of the sale is 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem at the junction of Hwy 53 and Northfork Rd. (Directions below.)
Since it’s Mother’s Day weekend, bring mom out to shop or take her home some flowers, veggies or gifts. Or perhaps buy her some raffle tickets. There are 4 items in the raffle this year: a rose tree hybrid combination with a dark purple “Ebb Tide” and a yellow “Julia Child” valued at $125; a stained-glass window valued at $100; A dried flower wreath from River City Flower Farm valued at $75 and a planter with a deutzia shrub valued at $75. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.
Bring your children and your tools. There will be a hands-on nature related activity for the kids using dried flowers or spider plants and the Sharpenator will be there to put a new edge on your tools.
As always, there are all kinds of plants: hanging baskets, planters with colorful flowers, perennials, annuals, vegetables, tomatoes, shrubs, trees, herbs, ground cover and houseplants at reasonable prices.
We encourage you to pay with cash or check and to round up! Nehalem Bay Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Credit cards will be accepted.
The Club has awarded nearly $28,000 in grants since 2020. Past recipients include Food Roots, Wheeler Waterfront Park, Salmonberry Trail, Tillamook Estuary Partnerships Native Nursery, Pine Grove Community House, The Wonder Garden at the Hoffman Center, Alder Creek Farm, Coyote Ridge Community Garden, Nehalem Bay Health Center, Tillamook Early Learning Center, North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park.
Directions:
Start at the blinking light in Nehalem at 7th Street, which turns into N Fork Rd and go 5 miles to the end of N Fork Road. The sale is on the left. If you are coming from the north, you will turn left at the blinking light; if from the south you will go straight instead of continuing on Highway 101.
